    Location: the hotel was close enough to Quito, which is a good and safe place to stay as a tourist, Quito old town, and the historic centre, cafes, restaurants, bus station. The staff that checked us in was exceptionally nice. The rooms were decent sized and huge, we had a balcony looking over garden.

    Located in a quiet street just off the edge of the historic center, this guesthouse offers a fantastic location for exploring the old town. Guests have praised the spacious double rooms with comfortable beds and quiet atmosphere for a good night's sleep. The breakfasts feature delicious Ecuadorian dishes and fruits, providing a tasty start to the day. the staff is friendly and helpful, with the owner arranging taxis for guests and responding quickly to messages.

    Some guests mentioned issues with the shower, such as limited hot water or blocked drains. However, it's important to note that these problems may have been addressed if reported to the staff.

    The owner, Amador, was incredibly friendly and helpful during our time there. The location was perfect, situated near many popular tourist attractions. Our room was spacious and had a stunning view of the city. The breakfast each morning was delicious and included a generous selection of fruits. we highly recommend Junin Colonial Guesthouse for a wonderful stay in this beautiful city.

    There was nothing we didn't like about our stay at Junin Colonial Guesthouse. 👍

    We stayed at a colonial guesthouse and had a fantastic experience. The hospitality of Edna and her son Amador was unmatched during our travels in South America. They made us feel like part of the family and ensured our safety even during the country-wide protests. The breakfasts were delicious and diverse, giving us a taste of the local cuisine. The location was ideal, just a few minutes' walk from the main areas of the old town. The guesthouse had a charming courtyard and the option to stay in rooms that were also local artists' studios. We would love to stay here again if we return to the area.

    Nothing to dislike. 😊

    I had an enjoyable stay at Junin Colonial Guesthouse. The owners were kind and helpful, even taking care of our bags while we explored Mindo. The location was perfect, with fantastic restaurants and cafes just a minute away. The rooms were basic but comfortable, offering good value for money. The breakfasts were delicious, with empanadas and fresh fruit that hit the spot. I would recommend this hotel for budget-conscious travelers seeking a convenient location and a pleasant stay.

    The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The breakfast each morning was delicious, with fresh Ecuadorian fruits and bread, and even homemade donuts one day! The location was perfect, allowing us to easily explore the historic center on foot and take buses to other destinations. The guesthouse had a beautiful artistic atmosphere and was filled with unique artwork. we highly recommend staying here for an exceptional experience.

    The breakfast served at this hostel was absolutely delicious! They had a variety of traditional dishes that were different every morning, and it was a great way to experience the local cuisine. The location of the hostel was perfect. It was right in the heart of the historic center, so it was easy to walk to the main square and other attractions. The staff at the hostel were very friendly and welcoming. They made me feel like part of the family and were always available to help with any questions or concerns.

    The shower in my room was a bit disappointing. The water was only warm for a short amount of time, and then it would turn cold.

    The hostel is set in a charming old family home with lovely owners. Delicious Ecuadorian breakfasts are provided, the room is comfortable, and the WiFi signal is good. The location in the historic old town is central and close to attractions.

    Felt great, no complaints at all.

    We had a great stay at this charming guesthouse. The value for money was excellent, and our room, though basic, had a fantastic view. The location was ideal, and the owner, Ana, was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a delicious Ecuadorian breakfast every morning.
